I saw that as well. I have a back and forth conversation going with their customer engagement team and I’ve asked them about the password for that section. Hopefully we will have something soon

I'm doing the same with my CE rep.

I assume that shortly before it goes live, they’ll send out emails to pre-order holders with a password or link to get one

I assume so.

Actually, reading the password page, it says “This story is password protected. Please enter the story’s password to access it”

So I think there’ll just be one password to access it that all the pre-order holders will get.

Minor difference, but still

I don't see it on my iMac when I go to the Rivian website...any ideas why? Exciting news, can not wait!

It looks like they removed it...

Ugh, I sent a note to their customer service, as I bet many others have. Hopefully this is the date and we all can order our Rivians!

Heh. I think somebody at Rivian got a bit too eager. I’m guessing they meant to send out an email first, rather than a public announcement on the website

I Feel like these "mistakes" are totally on purpose to get us internal crowd going. As someone who is in the infosec field, I can't imagine someone "accidentally" publishing to production environment even if they are using wordpress or something along those lines. It could be a mistake but seems to happen a few times ahaha.

 

[Shzeph]

If it was an accident or some avant-grade marketing, the cat’s out of the bag now! So we’ll see if we get an email in the next couple of days

I think it was mistakes. Might have made sense to have timed it for next weekend approx. this time, though. So somebody mis-clicked on the week selector... I hope.

It has always been a question in my mind why Rivian didn't ask us to create an account when we placed our reservations. It seems a requirement to log into an account would be a good way to only provide the configurator for reservation holders. I do remember having to set up a Tesla account when I reserved a Model 3 (ultimately decided not to buy).
